Spotlight from VIBE XV: Pac Modern

We have a lot of love for this team. In many ways, they deserve more public recognition, especially in the mainstream media spotlight, than what they’ve gotten so far. We know Pac Modern is driven. Their famous line, “Stay hungry,” is no joke. The guys and girls of Pac have been known to spend long nights outdoors practicing by the Pyramid on the campus of Cal State Long Beach. Anyone who has been to that campus knows how cold it can get during the winter months, even in southern California. At VIBE XV, they displayed their collective raw heart in a high energy set.

Whether it was the poppin’ section that showcased Poreotics’ influence or the Rocky-themed piece, Pac has a raw sensibility that other teams don’t possess. Maybe it has to do with their training regimen. Or perhaps it’s their aggressive approach mixed with the right amount of sensuality that helps them to stand out. But regardless of their future in the public spotlight, Pac has already established a legacy of dancers who have become some of the most influential performers in the southern California hip hop choreo scene. That’s undeniable. And no one can take that away from this team.
